Houou Biden was established in 1872 in Nikko, Tochigi, where spectacular nature and historical monuments, including world heritage shrines, traditional cuisine, crafts, and lush natural settings, have been preserved since the Edo period.
The brewery underwent a renaissance in 1995 when the 5th-generation, Mr. Masaki Kobayashi, returned to lead the family business alongside his wife, Mayumi, who serves as Houou Biden’s Toji, one of Japan’s rare female master brewers.
